Playing up with 150 BBet is probably fine, provided you can move back down if you start out bad. But when it's not a rational decision, rather a matter of "growing balls", then what are you going to say if you get a bad run of cards and have to play down? "I castrated myself and played within my bankroll"?

What a stupid way to approach poker.

Its his money, his decision, his risk. Its not a wise decision, but he obviously ran good and made a bank for the game (its still not an ideal bank, but its good enough). Its not stupid, and personally I welcome the shot takers because they usually (not always of course) make the game better.

I suggest everyone who is in this thread read Mason's fantastic book Gambling Theory and other Topics where the concept of bankroll theory was first discussed and applied, as well as the first understanding of a player's standard deviation for various game textures and types.
